Open Beta [B151127+] Feedback

[willempjuh2000]

The new update is great , but I have found an error:

error.jpg (29.74 KiB) Viewed 4646 times

This occurs when I press the start button in the test track mode with a V12 engined car.

Edit: it happens to every car I test
Edit 2: only with the not-vanilla test tracks

In the interest of offering feedback that is not misfiled bug reports: I'm enjoying the new build. I think I just built an engine that was overrevving its crankshaft, which is new and intriguing.

I also look forward to using the Engineering Time/Engineering Costs/Tooling Costs to make my own custom Car Tycoon Challenge. I went in and checked: the data on the Results screen for the trim does not include the engine costs, which makes sense - engines are often shared between model lines, and their costs would have to be shared likewise. And the factory sizes are going to be an awesome tool for CTCing - I may eventually come up with a way of working out car sales month-by-month for a challenge.

I dont have sound either

Same problem with audio. You can try to change default format to 16 bits in audio driver. (It helped me with Realtek drivers)

Thanks forma the solution!
I have a realtek.

Actually, I'm glad to see it's possible to over-rev crankshafts now. Before, the only reason to ditch the cheap cast iron crank was if you were literally making so much torque that you kept breaking it. Now, there's a reason to go up a level or two on crankshafts in the event that you're making a low-torque, but high-revving engine.

Also really loving the sound of the V12. I know, it's not the steady scream like a Ferrari or Lamborghini, but I like the rumble in the low-rev range, steadily increasing to a roaring howl of power when pushed past 8000 RPM. It's currently my favorite engine sound.

So I just made a discovery. I had the old beta selected before the update came out last night, and it downloaded a 500 and something MB update. I then had the problem with the sound, so I decided to take the open beta off and immediately the game started dowloading a second update that is 439 MB. I will come back later and let you guys know if this fixes the issue.

I haven't done enough experimentation to confirm that that's really what was happening, but I absolutely agree.

But I need to download now the open beta?

I made a car, went to go to the stats screen and got this .lua

Lua Error:

tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--shared\functional\math.lua..."]:97: attempt to index local 'value' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

OK

No stats work at all and I checked to make sure that I'd selected all the options before moving on...

EDIT: I checked to see if the body was involved with the error and it seems that the new bodies cause this error; old school vanilla bodies don't cause the bug but the engines don't seem to affect it.

HighOctane, are you using a ladder chassis on that car? I think a bug was discovered with ladder chassis cars with particular materials.

The error happened on ladder chassis cars (one galvanised, the other steel) but not on a monocoque car... I'll re-check the new body with a monocoque to determine if it's chassis related!

EDIT: I re-did the body I tried earlier with a monocoque body and it worked fine, then I tried a known working body with a ladder chassis and it failed... The Ladder chassis is bugged!!!

Actually, I have a question about the Sequential transmissions for the Devs. Any reason for the removal of 8-speed sequentials?

it appears that ladder chassis are bugged from my knowledge
